Table 4.
Range of the temporal parameters for 2010 measurements for men, women and total (aged 66 to 71). The parameters are gait cycle time (ΔTCyc), relative stance duration (ΔTSt), relative stance duration (ΔTSt), relative load duration (ΔTLoad), relative foot flat duration (ΔTff), relative push duration (ΔTPush), and cadence. The mean, standard deviation (SD), median ([10th;90th] percentiles) over the individual mean values have been presented. * shows the existence of significant difference between male and female participants.
